8. Project times are not scheduled until
resources have been assigned.
Assumptions that resources are available
when needed
Resource Problem
Resource leveling involves attempting to
even out demands on resources.
RESOURCE-CONSTRAINED
RESOURCES AND PRIORITIES
9. Estimates
RESOURCE ESTIMATES IS LINKED DIRECTLY TO THE
SCOPE OF WORK AND BILL OF MATERIALS (BOM)
(12 tonnes x 150 man hours per tonnes) = 180 man days
10 hrs per day
worker quantity x workers productivity standards = workers requireds
completion period
10. RESOURCE FORECASTING
To forecast the total resource requirement by discipline or interchangeable
resource.
Interchangeable resource: refers to the possibility of one resource to be
used in the place of another in order to get a desired result without
compromising the functionality and or expectation
11. The timing of the resource linked directly to
the schedule of the activity
Resource Forecasting
It is used to distinguish the different types of
resource
RESOURCE TYPE
ACTIVITY NUMBER
How many resources are required per day How many days the resource will be needed
on the said activity
DURATION
QUANTITY PER DAY
The difference bet. the activity's scheduled
start and the resource's start.
LEAD TIME
12. Resource Availability
Quantifying the resources available inside and outside the company.
The ff points should be considered:
Anticipate sickness and
absenteeism rate.
01
Consider public and religious
holidays
02
Site Maintenance/Shutdowns
03
13. Resource Loading
The ideal situation is when the resource requirement is equal to the available
resource.
Unfortunately, in the real world this seldom happens because it is not always
possible to adjust supply with demand and some form of rescheduling is
required.
A resource overload will lead to some activities being delayed.
A resource underload will underutilize the company's resource and could have
detrimental effect on the company.
14. To address overload and underload
Time Limited Resource
Scheduling
Resource Smoothing
Rousers-Limited Scheduling
Increase/Reduce Resources
15. some planning
and control
considerations:
It may be possible to split activities which have float.
In this situation, workers would be moving between
unfinished jobs.
Concern would be for the lost production time while
moving, setting up and reorganization.
Clients often require a manpower plan to check that
the contractors have sufficient resources to meet
project objectives.
When a project is running late, bringing in more
resource may well delay the project even further.
